Hosiery: Rock It Like a Duchess

Though sometimes inconvenient for girls on the run, there's a quality of modesty that young ladies of quality should maintain in social situations.  This modesty offers a respect not only to the other members of the social scene,  but for ourselves as well.  It says that we care about our appearance and have put effort into having a public face.

One of our favorite proper finishing touches (which annoys most girls who don't think that they should have to bother) is wearing beautiful hosiery.  Lucky for us, the newest royal across the pond is making waves and showing that it's stylish to shimmer again.

 

ABC News reports that “like everything else she touches that turns to gold, [Kate] Middleton’s embrace of sheer pantyhose has them flying off the shelves in her native U.K.”  Rumor has it that her favorite tights are Philippe Matignon's ‘Jade Sheer 20 Denier’ which boast no-slip cool summer style. Sheer pantyhose add a lovely finished look to any outfit and can hide little flaws that we're not happy with anyway.

"Egg-crate color is out, and clear, almost fairy-dusted iridescence is in. But the song remains the same: she's got Leggs and she knows how to use them" says Yahoo Shine!  "It's an unwritten rule that royal ambassadors and guests attend events dressed to make the queen proud: closed-toed shoes, mid-length skirts and pantyhose."

 

What better way to dress like a young lady than to wear what a true royal Lady wears?  From a super-sheer nude hose to show off your legs in the summer to a strong opaque tight in the winter, hosiery can dress up your overall look or add whimsy to an otherwise plain outfit.  It's up to you to rock it like the Duchess.

We at the Sweetheart Social are pro-hosiery!  Honestly, we have been for a very long time.
